Massachusetts bill would prohibit municipalities from passing BSL
Posted: 27 Apr 2012 08:47 PM PDT
Massachusetts S.2184 is a bill that overhauls Massachusetts state animal laws. It includes the following clauses that would prohibit municipalities in MA from passing breed-specific laws:
New definition of “dangerous dog”: provided, however, that no dog shall be deemed dangerous . . . (ii) based upon the breed of such dog.
New section 157: No city or town shall regulate dogs in a manner that is specific to breed.
You can read the full text of the proposed bill here: www.malegislature.gov/Bills/187/Senate/S02184
S2184 has been moving slowly from House to Senate, changing bill number and gathering amendments, for over a year. It was engrossed by the Senate in late March and, due to Senate amendments, it now needs approval by the House again. It has moved to a House committee for consideration. We do not not know whether the bill would be retroactive (e.g. would force MA municipalities that currently have BSL to repeal those laws).
Massachusetts residents should contact their House representatives and voice your support for Senator Jehlen’s bill called ”An Act Further Regulating Municipal Animal Control.” Find your rep here: www.malegislature.gov/people/Search

[...] Sen. Patricia Jehlen, D-Somerville, sponsored the legislation — known as “An Act Further Regulating Municipal Animal Control” — as a way to revise animal control regulations in the state, some of which date back to the 1800s. [...]
